Vicks Smart Temp Thermometer

Thanks to Influenster, I got the chance to check out the new Vicks Smart Temp thermometer for free!

This thing is really cool. Stepping into the bluetooth world, this thermometer syncs to an app on your smartphone. Once the app is installed, pairing is as easy as turning on the bluetooth capabilities on the phone and then turning on the thermometer.

This thermometer can take oral, axiallary and rectal temperatures, simply by choosing which method being used on the phone. The temperature is displayed within 8 seconds.

The app is really cool. It has the ability to set up users within the family, and then under each user there is the ability to track temperatures over time, record any medication given and maintain those records for the life of the app.

In addition to the temperature taking abilities of the app, there are many options in the menu. One of my favorites is the chart displaying the temperature ranges in a color code so users can know when they read the temperature where it falls in terms of being safe, mid-range or high.

There are so many other options in the menu as well.

This thermometer is small, fitting easily into the palm of my hand. It is super lightweight, and is comparable to any other thermometer on the market.

The tip is super flexible, which is awesome when using it with kids!

Included is a cover for storage when not in use.

I am in love with this thermometer. Not so much with the fact that I have already had opportunity to use it with all of my children in the past week. but glad I had it. It is super reliable, quick to record and display the temperature, and so convenient with the app data storing capabilities. This is a tool I will be recommending to all of my friends for their medicine cabinets.
